Schmid College of Science and Technology

A leader in teaching, research and discovery, applying interdisciplinary problem-solving to global issues.

In the Schmid College of Science and Technology, we have made it our mission to mentor and grow the next generation of leaders through a curriculum that develops outstanding problem solving skills in the context of the grand, interdisciplinary challenges facing us today. The leaders we train will thereby be well-prepared to push the boundaries of our knowledge and drive technological innovation. As the world becomes more interconnected a background in science and technology has become crucial, and as Chapman University moves towards the future, the Schmid College of Science and Technology will be leading the pack with innovative research and hands-on learning experiences.

The Grand Challenges Initiative

We’re launching a revolutionary approach to STEM learning where Schmid College students become immersed in solving the planet's greatest challenges. Learn more about the Schmid Grand Challenge Initiative.

Center for Science and Technology

To further distinguish itself as a preeminent institution of higher education by advancing its science programs, Chapman University is investing in the construction of a new, 140,000 square-foot Center for Science and Technology.

In the same way that building Marion Knott Studios propelled Dodge College of Film and Media Arts almost immediately to its place among the top film schools in the nation, the Center for Science and Technology will significantly enhance every activity of Chapman's science students and faculty members, elevating the University to a new class of research institution.
